maybe the behaviour is intentional, but anyway want to flag that firefox is not able to add pycsw opensearch as search engine (Seems chrome moved away from supporting opensearch)

Reproduce:

At example.com/index.html add opensearch link to

<link title="Search" rel="search" type="application/opensearchdescription+xml" href="/opensearch"/>

(seems this is not yet the case in https://demo.pycsw.org/gisdata, instead this is used:)

      <link rel="service" type="application/xml" title="OpenSearch endpoint" href="https://demo.pycsw.org/gisdata/opensearch"/>
  • on the search bar, when entering pycsw, you will notice an extra icon with a green plus in the pull down

click this icon, firefox will try to add the website as a search engine

  • but then fails with

or should we just give up on opensearch (like chrome), amazon will be happy :-)
a9.com seems not available either...
